I love it when people share on their websites what books they’re reading/have read.

But I remember seeing one web designer’s online bookshelf where out of 96 books, just two were written by women.

And one of those women was Ayn Rand.

This note by @adactio made me realize that I’m mostly reading male authors. Let’s try to change that without changing the genre of my “literary” diet: which female authors write slightly trashy spy and/or detective novels? adactio.com/notes/18453

I track my reading (ink.blot.im/2021-reads) but didn’t check the spilt before reading adactio.com/notes/18453 Last year’s rough* splits were: Male 80:20 Female White 80:20 Nonwhite Alive 65:35 Dead 😬 Didn’t expect to be that bad. *not all fit into binary groups
